Hope it is not Harris. Her policies are wayyy too far left for anything I would normally consider, in a non-Trump world.
If it is her, I will vote for her and fuck my wallet & overall views. Anything to stop the monster and his hordes.
Wish we could time machine back to politics pre-Clinton.
So a vote for Kamala is a vote for free rein looting, robbery, heroin needles everywhere, free hotels for junkies, shitting in the streets, and almost no punishment for criminals. Raping little kids is also okay in california since they have their pro pedophile movement going on. Is that too far left? I think so.Violent crimes
In the early 2000s, the San Franciscomurder rate per capita outpaced the national average. Within the first six months of taking office, Harris cleared 27 of 74 backlogged homicide cases by settling 14 by plea bargain and taking 11 to trial; of those trials, nine ended with convictions and two with hung juries. She took 49 violent crime cases to trial and secured 36 convictions.[77] From 2004 to 2006, Harris achieved an 87-percent conviction rate for homicides and a 90-percent conviction rate for all felony gun violations.[78]
Harris also pushed for higher bail for criminal defendants involved in gun-related crimes, arguing that historically low bail encouraged outsiders to commit crimes in San Francisco. SFPD officers credited Harris with tightening the loopholesdefendants had used in the past.[79]In addition to creating a gun crime unit, Harris opposed releasing defendants on their own recognizance if they were arrested on gun crimes, sought minimum 90-day sentences for possession of concealed or loaded weapons, and charged all assault weapons possession cases as felonies, adding that she would seek prison terms for criminals who possessed or used assault weapons and would seek maximum penalties on gun-related crimes.[80]
Harris created a Hate Crimes Unit, focusing on hate crimes against LGBTchildren and teens in schools.[81] In early 2006, Gwen Araujo, a 17-year-old American Latina transgenderteenager, was murdered by two menwho later used the "gay panic defense" before being convicted of second-degree murder. Harris, alongside Araujo's mother Sylvia Guerrero, convened a two-day conference of at least 200 prosecutors and law enforcement officials nationwide to discuss strategies to counter such legal defenses.[82] Harris subsequently supported A.B. 1160, the Gwen Araujo Justice for Victims Act, advocating that California's penal code include jury instructions to ignore bias, sympathy, prejudice, or public opinion in making their decision, also making mandatory for district attorney's offices in California to educate prosecutors about panic strategies and how to prevent bias from affecting trial outcomes.[83] In September 2006, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed A.B. 1160 into law; the law put California on record as declaring it contrary to public policy for defendants to be acquitted or convicted of a lesser included offense on the basis of appeals to "societal bias".[83][84]
In August 2007, state assemblyman Mark Leno introduced legislation to ban gun shows at the Cow Palace, joined by Harris, police chief Heather Fong, and mayor Gavin Newsom. City leaders contended the shows were directly contributing to the proliferation of illegal guns and spiking homicide rates in San Francisco. (Earlier that month Newsom had signed into law local legislation banning gun shows on city and county property.) Leno alleged that merchants drove through the public housing developments nearby and illegally sold weapons to residents.[85] While the bill would stall, local opposition to the shows continued until the Cow Palace Board of Directors in 2019 voted to approve a statement banning all future gun shows.[86]

Secure border, deport illegals. Drill more oil and gas. Strengthen military. You really think he’s going to end Social Security? Ban porn and divorce? C’mon.0

I've haven't had an illegal immigrant take my job since Kamala was elected, so she must be doing a pretty good job0 -

Looks like the Democrats are rallying around Kamala. Not my first pick but a huge improvement over Biden.
For the first time in months I believe it's possible they can pull this out.
Trump world is in a bit of a panic.
This Is Exactly What the Trump Team Feared

He should resign. Tell the Dems to F off! Gave 50 years of his life to serving the country and got thrown out with the weekend leftovers. All over a couple polls that said he couldn’t win. Won a primary and over 80+ million (most ever) voted for him in 2020.
Now he’s a 6 month Lame Duck.Post edited by teskeinc on0 -
Now Harris ran the country when they said it was Obama? Which is it? The republicans are complete and total fools and liars. They’re so wound up now and scrambling, scared, and giving us the most amusement yet. I find this to be some of the funniest stuff the country has ever seen! I can’t wait till the big baby loses to a woman.0

Do you think Biden should step down completely and have Harris sworn in as President?
Not sure how that would affect Vice President Harris' ability to be re-elected...0 -

How can he do his job? Now he’s embarrassed. He’s no hero, he was strong armed out. Everyone is laughing at him. Wouldn’t Kamala look better to voters if she assumed role of President for 3.5 months?0 -
